He’d do well to keep a shovel handy for a planned earth-turning later this year for an unrelated Montgomery venture.

Representatives of Greiwe Development and partners North American Properties of downtown Cincinnati and Sibcy Cline posed for pictures with politicians June 1 at a ceremonial dirt tossing for Hampstead Park in Mariemont.

The $20 million, three-level, 18-unit development is to be built at 3818 Miami Road, one block from the village square.

The condominiums will range in size from 1,800 square feet to 3,200 square feet and lighten buyers’ pockets by $800,000 to $1.5 million.

"Hampstead Park provides a new opportunity for future residents to own a luxury, single-level residence in a walkable community that offers easy access to restaurants, shops and entertainment," Greiwe said.

In the past decade and pre-Hampstead Place, Greiwe Development, North American Properties and Sibcy Cline have built more than 100 condominium units in Mariemont.

Hampstead preceded by 100 other condos

They have a total value of $80 million and are in these four developments:

Livingood Park at the convergence of Murray Avenue and Madisonville Road. The grand opening of the 18-unit development – at which just three units remain unsold – is Wednesday, June 7.

Nolen Park at the northeast corner of Madisonville Road and West Street, which was completed in 2014.

Emery Park at the northwest corner of Madisonville Road and West Street, which was completed in 2011.

Jordan Park at the northeast corner of Miami Road and East Street, which was completed in 2008.

Greiwe said Hampstead Park’s exterior will be a contemporary take on an English cottage, with white brick and steep gables.

Residents will have private balconies or first-floor terraces with gas lines for outdoor grills – and share a large front porch as a common area.

Hampstead Park won’t be completed until early 2019, but Greiwe will not be idle until then.

He already has a new focus.

“Beyond Hampstead Park, we are in the planning stages for a mixed-use development in Montgomery with partners Brandicorp (of Bellevue, Kentucky) and Traditions Group (of Sharonville),” Greiwe said.

Luxury condos also planned in Montgomery

“This next big project from our team will be done in four phases and include 120 luxury condominium residences, a public green with four to six restaurants, 200,000 square feet of office space and a boutique hotel.”

The mixed-use development is to be built in Montgomery’s “Gateway Redevelopment Area” at the intersection of Montgomery Road and the Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway.

The city owns about 21.5 acres of land there – including 10 acres of land that Montgomery bought earlier this year from the Hamilton County Commissioners for $500,000.

“The Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners and staff have greatly assisted the city of Montgomery in pursuing a vision that will add to our great community and result in an economic bounce effect that will generate approximately 1,300 jobs and augment the vitality and experience of our Heritage District,” Montgomery Mayor Chris Dobrozsi said.

Hamilton County Commission Vice President Denise Driehaus said in a press release that, “The board of commissioners appreciates the opportunity to partner with Montgomery to ensure that this project, which will likely involve close to $40 million in direct public and private investment, will be a resounding success for Montgomery, Hamilton County and the Greater Cincinnati region.”

In related news, plans are to replace the bridge on Montgomery Road that crosses over the end of the Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway with a roundabout – a junction where traffic is to flow continuously in one direction around a central island.

“This type of roundabout improvement has the potential to create a traffic-calming environment for the overall traffic flow in the vicinity of the Ronald Reagan Highway and Montgomery Road intersection, while providing improved access to adjacent properties, the new development and the city of Montgomery,” Hamilton County Engineer Ted Hubbard said in a press release.
